Life reaches out to hold us dear, yet does not keep all of us here. Each takes a place among life's lines, held as grace alone defines. Our journeys touch in many ways, known by heart felt inner gaze. Be comforted to know this true, grace at heart sustains you too. ~ DSJ /Back of 1st book w/2 lines:

Yes, if anyone can tell the difference, most do prefer to support the authentic works of other people. Here is a Free (Winter Cheer) coloring page for everyone to share. It is a vintage pen & ink drawing by my hand as are all my works (not AI.)

"As with so much of what has gone wrong in the past 10 months (or years), this chaos can be laid squarely at feet of SCOTUS. Here, they’ve allowed him to continue collecting hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs despite multiple lower courts ruling it's patently illegal." — @lizdye.bsky.social

The most influential UBI advocates are generally unanimous that it should be financed by the value of nature — something we all have an equal claim to.

Let's assume for a second that universal basic income would lead to more men playing video games. Is that a worse outcome than working for ICE or in prisons? Is it even bad to play? The reality is that everyone should have the freedom to not do evil work, by having their basic needs met as a right.
Not great that we’ve created a system where the best job opportunities for working class men involve either overseeing other working class people in prison, or working as masked secret police violently hunting down working class immigrants targeted for deportation despite having committed no crimes.
“We’re broken and we’re being poached by ICE,” one official with the prison workers union told ProPublica. “It’s unbelievable. People are leaving in droves.”

Life is truth as are we, revolving souls of life, No tax or fee. Dancing in and out of Earth's reality, each goodness done becoming new self-mastery. Democracy now suffers loss of goodness won. Ignorance and greed deny being a gun. Life is given Earth's provisions equally. #UBI is due life liberty.🕊️

The welfare state we use was designed for an industrial world that ran on horses and steam power. Labour has long changed since then. We should change from a net full of holes to a solid floor.

This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for so much - above all, for loved ones who are with us in our best and worst moments, and who remind us who we really are.

From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

This time of year, turkeys might be getting all the attention at the dining room table, but The Gentle Barn founder Ellie Laks said the birds can make great cuddle buddies. https://to.pbs.org/3XnY2wy
At The Gentle Barn, turkeys are for snuggling, not stuffing at Thanksgiving

We aren’t built to carry 8 billion people in our heads at all times. If every country had universal basic income, we could focus on our own lives and communities without feeling like someone else’s poverty is our fault for not doing more.
